Chapter 4 Snatching a Woman's Gambling Contract Kills People

It is said that Li Su is quite lascivious, and he actually told Pang Tong in private that there is a butcher shop owner's daughter who is beautiful, and he wants to marry him. Pang Tong thought to himself: "In ancient times, people got married early, and it was normal for men to be lustful. "I didn't feel at ease, but who would have thought that this Li Su made a bet with someone for a girl who was only fourteen years old.

In September, the autumn breeze is gentle, and the fallen leaves roll past your feet. Pang Tong went to the market to buy poultry meat, and when he went home, he passed by an alley, and he heard the noise inside, and a male voice was more familiar. Then a young man ran out of the alley with a pale face. He looked at the high-end dressed teenager suspiciously, looking like he was running for his life. An unsettling smell wafts from the depths of the alley. Pang Tong gasped and walked in with a bamboo basket. In the dark alleys, the pungent smell of fresh blood is unbearable. A young man lay in a pool of blood, his mouth open on his back to the sky, his eyes staring into the void, his right hand still holding a wooden stick tightly, and his left hand clutching his fist. Pang Tong's scalp was numb, his face was slightly blue, and his hands were trembling. When I looked up, there were two people standing next to the corpse. One person is Li Su, and the other is Lu Bu. He shook his head and sighed: "These two bastards, they killed people at a young age, I have to run quickly." The two of them were also panicked when they saw him.

Pang Tong squeezed out a smile and said, "You guys are busy first, I have something to ......" Unexpectedly, Lu Bu's sword eyebrows tightened, which frightened Pang Tong's heartbeat faster. I only heard Lu Bu say: "I killed the person by mistake, I will turn myself in." ”

Li Su grabbed him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said coldly: "I proposed to make a bet, you go and turn yourself in, and you will also affect me, my father must beat me to death." Why don't you want to think about it, if you beat someone to death and spread it, your master's reputation will be ruined by you. ”

Lu Bu's face changed slightly, and he obviously hesitated. Pang Tong, who was about to leave, saw this, but he didn't intend to ignore it. He thought to himself, "Not everyone is born evil, but only because of the friends and circumstances they are in. Seeing that Lu Bu does not look like a very vicious person, if he can be led to the right path, it is also a virtue. ”

He cleared his throat and asked, "Don't worry, how did you get killed?" ”

Lu Bu replied truthfully: "Li Gongzi and Zhou Gongzi made a bet that if I won Yan Gang, he would go to propose to the owner of the butcher shop." If I lose, then Gongzi Zhou will go to propose. I originally wanted to compete in martial arts, but I accidentally beat me to death with a stick. ”

Pang Tong slumped his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "If you have a big fart, you will also kill people?" Brother Li, you and that boy are both rich people. The children of the butcher shop are also concubines at most, so why should they compete with any martial arts. ”

Li Su stared at the corpse, gritted his teeth and said, "And no one knows, just say that Yan Gang is a Yellow Turban thief, otherwise Lu Bu and I will be in trouble." Pang Shiyuan, do me a favor, don't say it! ”

Pang Tong frowned, and said: "If you kill someone, you have to say that they are the Yellow Turban Thieves." How can a manly man stand up to the sky, how can he do things that are unacceptable? Lu Bu trembled when he heard this, took a deep breath, and said, "You look at the corpse, I'll turn myself in." ”

Li Su didn't agree, grabbed him, and said, "Don't get excited, I'm not thinking of a way?" With one hand, he untied a fist-sized embroidered bag from the red brocade belt and forced it to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu pushed the bag over, and said, "Everyone has been killed, what else can be done?" Seeing that he didn't take it, Li Su was angry, and threw the bag to the ground with one hand, only to see that the round five-baht coin rolled out of the loose bag.

Pang Tong thought to himself: "If it weren't for me, this Lu Bu would have been blinded by Li Su, and his life path would be a vicious circle after that." It's really a bad friend. He immediately said: "Don't panic, find a cart and get the body to the county office, I have a way to save you." ”

Li Su glared and said, "Huangkou Xiaoer, where did you get the ability to reach the sky?" Feng Xian and I are in trouble today, and you don't have to tease. As long as the two of us say that this is a yellow turban thief, we can go to the county government to receive the reward, and we can avoid trouble. ”

Pang Tong cheered himself up in his heart, and chuckled lightly on the surface: "I can't help it, but my master is a highly respected person in the county, wouldn't it be convenient to ask him to explain for you?" ”

Lu Bu nodded and said: "That's it, the manly man stands up to the sky!" ”

Li Su saw that his confidence was firm and not easy to shake, and sighed to himself: "God wants to harm me, I have to ...... it"

Pang Tong went to find Huang Wei, carrying a basket and walking firmly behind them. He watched as the two of them pushed the body outside the county office with a cart. The corpse was covered with straw mats, which attracted onlookers from time to time. They knelt down and shouted, "We are guilty." Pang Tong approached and blended into the crowd.

Seeing this, the officials beat the drum and ascended to the hall. The two walked into the hall, looked at the surrounding officials, and hurriedly knelt down. Gao Tang Shangxian ordered the spit to fly, and shouted: "How dare you and other children commit murders!" ”

Li Su had long been frightened and hung his head and didn't dare to speak. Lu Bu on the side arched his hand and said, "Your Excellency." My surname is Lu, my name is Bu, and I am from this county. Li Su and Zhou Mu bet on me and Yan Gang's martial arts. Unexpectedly, I beat him to death with a stick, and I came to confess my guilt. ”

Pang Tong looked at the outside of the lobby door, and looked at Lu Bu frankly, and there was an inexplicable sense of steadfastness in his heart.

Li Su looked left and right, and thought secretly: "Then why hasn't Pang Tong invited Huang Wei to come, if you fool the two of us, how can it be good?" ”

The county magistrate Ding Peng shook his head when he heard this, and said with a straight face: "The murderer pays for his life, do you know?" ”

Lu Bu replied: "The little people know, and they are here to confess their guilt, and please send them down." ”

Pang Tong stole the right time and strode up to the court, and the left and right officials were busy blocking in front of him.

The official said, "Boy, get out!" ”

Pang Tong shouted: "I saw a murder in the alley, how can I also be an insider." Li Su glanced at it, only Pang Tong was seen, but Huang Wei was not seen, and he thought about it, and bowed his head and said nothing.

The official let him go, Pang Tong entered the hall and knelt down, and said: "The little Pang Tong is from this county, and he witnessed the bet of the four people in the alley. Lu Bu did not intentionally kill people, this matter only started because of the competition, after all, the sword has no eyes, please be aware of it. ”

Li Su thought to himself: "Where have you seen the whole process?" At a young age, telling such a big lie without changing his face is bold enough. ”

Ding Peng laughed and said, "You are also bluffing people at a young age? Suddenly, his face was like a tiger, and he said angrily: "Invite it truthfully, who asked you to lie!" ”

Pang Tong pretended to be ignorant, shook his head and said, "No one." I did see it, and that's it. ”

Ding Peng looked at him carefully, gasped, and looked at Lu Bu and Li Ru again. He thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Lu Bu, you killed someone by mistake, and you can voluntarily accept the guilt, I read that you are a young first offender, and you will be beaten with twenty boards and compensated the family of the deceased for a thousand baht." Closed. ”

The three of them bowed together and said in unison: "Lord Xie is sentenced!" When I got out of the county office, I saw Yan Gang's family crying on the corpse. Lu Bu had just been hit by the twenty boards, and he limped two steps, but he didn't dare to step forward. His heart was like a knife, and he sighed lightly: "Where can there be a thousand copper plates to accompany people." And Li Su on the side also had a face like dirt, although he was not sentenced, this matter started because of him, and it would be uncomfortable to go back. Pang Tong looked at this situation and thought: "When I meet you two stupid people, I'll help others to the end." He walked up to Li Su and whispered a few words. After hearing this, Li Su's heart was much relieved, and he walked to the corpse with his head held high, and said to Yan Gang's family: "The matter of martial arts competition, fists and feet have no eyes. The matter has something to do with me, I will pay for Lu Bu's money, and I will pay 500 baht more, hoping that the public will be angry. ”

The autumn breeze chills people, and the coldness sucks people's hearts;

The young man makes trouble for the woman, and the classmates save the morality for the righteousness.

This was the end of the matter, because Li Su handled it properly, and after going home and sincerely confessing his guilt, he was not scolded. On the contrary, Zhou Gongzi, who ran away on the spot, was said to be an unrighteous person. Li Su and Lu Bu were very convinced of Pang Tong from then on. The three of them have a lot of contacts. However, Pang Tong treated the two differently, because Li Su had long been disobedient to discipline, and there was no way to do it, and soon Li Su stopped studying in private school, and followed his family to do business, and there were fewer opportunities to come and go. But Lu Bu is different, he is young, and he can still instill great righteousness and virtue. Pang Tong specially asked Huang Wei to let Lu Bu come to listen to the class. Huang Wei saw that he was helpful, so he agreed not to take money. After that, in addition to practicing martial arts on weekdays, Lu Bu came to the school to listen to lectures whenever he had time.

However, for a while, Pang Tong found that Lu Bu had not come for a long time, so he went to look for him, but who expected that the compound where he lived was empty. From time to time, people also move tables and other things inside. Pang Tong's heart sank, and he felt that there was nothing good, so he asked the porter: "Uncle, what about this family?" ”

The porter wiped his sweat, put a small cabinet on the floor, and replied, "The owner of the house has changed." His answer was vague, and Pang Tong didn't want to ask much.

Pang Tong was puzzled, and on the way back, he saw Li Su drinking and laughing with people on the second floor of a restaurant, so he walked in. On the second floor, Li Su saw Pang Tong and said happily: "Ah! Pang Shiyuan, it's rare for you to enter the restaurant! He beckoned Pang Tong over. Pang Tong didn't see any outside, so he sat down. Li Suzheng had dinner with a businessman who sold mink skins and introduced him, and Pang Tong had a polite conversation. However, he didn't come to reminisce about the past, and asked, "Brother Li, it seems that Fengxian's family has moved?" DID YOU KNOW THIS? ”

Li Su chuckled and said, "I blasted people out a long time ago, it was six days ago." His master lost the house, and Lu Bu became a bet and gave it to others. ”

Pang Tong originally picked up a cup of tea, but when he heard the words, he even took out the cup, and the water splashed, and the teacup fell from the table to the ground, shattering completely. Xiao Er was busy cleaning, and Pang Tong only cared about asking about Lu Bu. Li Su carelessly grabbed a piece of mutton with chopsticks, chewed it a few times and swallowed it into his stomach, and sighed: "Reincarnation is also a skill, this Lu Bu has always been very unlucky." He slowly dragged out the whole matter of Lu Bu.

It turned out that Lu Bu was an orphan who was thrown on the street when he was still a strong swaddling, and an old widow picked him up. When he was seven years old, the widow died, leaving him a dilapidated house. At that time, he didn't have much ability, he was too young, and he could only live on the streets of the county with some beggars, begging for a living. At the age of eight, he was so strong that he was able to lift a foal. was adopted by Wufu Yuan Kui. Yuan Kui accepted apprentices to make a living, and there were many children from rich families under his door. But this person is a good gambler, and he always loses all his savings, but this time it's good, he lost the house and yard, and owed a lot of debts, so he had to use Lu Bu to pay off the debt.

Pang Tong was full of anger when he heard this, and said, "How can this be true! How can people gamble? To whom was he beyond? ”

Li Su took a slow sip of drunkenness and said, "Boss Li of the Silk Village in the south of the city." ”

After Pang Tong asked for the direction, he looked for it. He found the silk house, which was full of people and busy. The brightly dressed must be the boss, and when he saw Pang Tong looking around, he came over and asked, "Little brother, do you want to buy cloth and ayaluo?" ”

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "I'll find a friend, he is here with you, his name is Lu Bu." ”

It's okay not to say it, but after saying it, the boss's face turned blank and said, "The kind of person who has no faith is gone." After the boss finished speaking, he went to greet the other guests. Pang Tong saw that he was angry, so he didn't want to ask too much, so he went to the small worker in the shop to get close, and learned that Lu Bu had just quarreled with the boss and left, threatening to go to other counties to make a living.
